It's So Nice
To Meet You,
If we haven't met before I'd love to introduce myself! I'm Claudia Nicole Orlinski, a lifestyle portrait photographer based in Port Coquitlam, B.C. I am a devoted animal lover, an outdoor enthusiast and I have an endless passion for storytelling through photography. My work is inspired by wild places, real connections, and those sun-drenched moments that feel like magic. I truly enjoy capturing life's candid, joyful moments shared with the people who matter the most to us. I specialize in photographing families, couples and small intimate events with fewer than 50 guests. I'm available for travel—whether it's something local or an adventure to a dreamy, remote mountain top, I am always ready with my camera bag and my hiking boots! I love working with natural light to create warm, film-like photographs that radiate all the cozy feels and images that feel authentic to you and your love.
Here's a bit about me!
"Authentically
Beautiful In Your
OwnWay"
You can totally call me a free-spirit, a day dreamer, a sunset chaser—always on the lookout for a new adventure that makes my heart race. Beyond photography, I have a deep love for traveling, snowboarding, and hiking—all of which inspire my work and spark my imagination. I'm a big-time dog lover who never leaves the house without my rescue pup from Taiwan, Ivy—my ultimate adventure companion. I endlessly crave being outdoors, laughter, spontaneous paths, and the magic found in the in-between. I believe every photograph should feel like a daydream—telling a story woven with emotion, untamed beauty, and the kind of magic you can’t pose. So whether it’s windswept hair, muddy toes, or golden light at the edge of the day, I’m here to tell your story just as it unfolds—real, raw, and full of heart. So let’s wander, explore and create some lasting memories in your most favourite spot!

Whether it’s your first time in front of the camera or not, I know how nerve-wracking it can feel—but don't worry I've got you! My goal is to help you feel completely at ease and bring out your most authentic self. With fun, easy prompts and a relaxed approach, I’ll guide you through the session in a way that feels natural and enjoyable. It's all about capturing real emotions, meaningful connection, and the little moments that make your story yours. So let’s throw on your favourite song, take a deep breath, and let the nerves melt away. I’m genuinely so excited to get to know you and your favourite people and get the chance to work together to capture the essence of your love, your family, or whatever chapter you’re in. You'll always find me with a heart full of joy, a huge smile on my face, a camera in my hand, and my hiking boots tied tight —ready for whatever wild, beautiful adventure unfolds. For me, working with clients is a joyful, collaborative experience. I take the time to understand your vision, preferences, and the unique beauty of your story. Whether it’s a family portrait, engagement, intimate wedding, or a milestone moment, I’m here to make you feel confident and cared for, so that the images we create together feel real and deeply personal. I’m honoured by the trust my clients place in me, and I’m committed to documenting your memories with intention, heart, and artistry. I'm ready to create something beautiful together and turn these fleeting moments into timeless keepsakes.

WHY I LOVE WHAT I DO
Life moves fast—but photographs let us hold onto what matters most. We all know it's so easy nowadays to get distracted with cellphones and our bustling lives. We often seem to forget how quickly things can change right before our eyes. We lose touch with what—and who—we truly value, forgetting the simple, magical reminder to stop and smell the flowers. I fell in love with photography because it feels a little like time travel—a way to bottle up laughter, sunlight, and soul. It’s more than just clicking a shutter; it’s about catching the way your child’s nose scrunches when they smile, the way your partner looks at you when you’re not looking, or the quiet stillness right before a kiss. These are the moments that shape your story—the wild, unscripted kind that make your soul feel something. I think there’s a special kind of magic in turning those moments into something you can hold onto. Let's capture them together, through my lens.
